I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 576 It's time to end it all
Golden Coconut Hotel,

Gul’ah is really here!
Li Si felt relieved, as long as there were no further twists and turns.

Although it was certain before that Zhuo was the most special existence in this illusion, the key to breaking through the seven-day cycle was most likely in her.

But no one can be sure until the last moment.

But now it seems that everything is going smoothly.

This saves Li Si a lot of time.

After meeting Zhuo and confirming that it was the second day, Li Si had already set out from the hotel to take a good look at the Gol Festival.

What happened at the Ghor Festival that was hidden by Ihalus, and what does it have to do with the bloody tower?
Although Li Si had some guesses, he was not sure.

Just as the three were about to go out, a figure appeared at the door of the hotel.

When he saw the figure, Juou was stunned for a moment.

The young man who appeared in front of the three people was about twenty years old. He was wearing a gray robe. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, but it could not hide his slightly casual posture.

Her brown hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair hanging unruly in front of her forehead. It seemed that she had not been carefully groomed for a long time, which added a bit of vicissitudes of life to her hair.

The young man had a delicate face, but his skin was slightly pale and he looked a little haggard, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time or was overworked.

Although those eyes were filled with fatigue, they were still deep and bright, as if hiding countless unspoken thoughts and sorrows.

The moment he saw the young man, Li Si grabbed Taya's hand, took a step back slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him vigilantly.

Taiya also had a look of vigilance on her face. She found that the young man in front of her gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.

Just like facing those legendary crowns before.

Unlike Li Si and Taiya, when Zhuo saw the young man, his eyes widened with disbelief.

"Kazeli, you're finally back!"

Zhuo rubbed his eyes, a look of surprise on his face, and rushed forward, came to the young man's side, and looked his body up and down.

"Kazeli, are you hurt after being out for so long?"

"You haven't changed at all. I'm almost as tall as you now!"

“Where have you been?”

Juou didn't stop talking, but he didn't hold back with his hands as he checked the young man's body up and down to see if he was injured anywhere.

The young man named Kazeri opened his mouth, wanting to say something but in the end, he said nothing. He just stood there quietly and was tormented by Zhuo.

However, his gaze towards Juou was extremely gentle, as if in his eyes Juou was the only one left in the world.
Li Si and Taiya stood aside and watched quietly without disturbing the two.

Li Si's gaze remained on the young man, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

Is this the legendary necromancer, Kazeri Ihalus?

Li Si recognized the young man the first time he saw him, without being reminded by Zhu Ou.

Because the young man in front of him has many similarities with the thin figure sitting on the blood-red throne of the tower.

What's more, after confirming that he had broken through the seven-day cycle, Li Si's vigilance had been raised to the highest level.

After all, this is the first time that this small town, which has been stuck in time, has taken a step forward after who knows how long.

Anything could happen, and Li Si had to be prepared to deal with it.

Li Si even thought of the scenario of being chased by the Undead Scourge and prepared a retreat, but he did not expect that the young version of Ihalus would appear in front of the three of them.

Do not!
It should appear in front of Zhuo!
Is this the change brought about by breaking the seven-day cycle?
Li Si stood aside cautiously without moving, quietly waiting for the other party's next move.

".Juou, I'm back."

After an unknown amount of time, Kazeli looked at Juou and said this in a serious tone, with a hint of hoarseness in his words.

Juou looked at Kazeri and said with a smile:

"I know, welcome back, Kazeri!"

"I've been waiting for you!"

"Ok!"

Kazeli nodded vigorously and held Juou in his arms, as if he wanted to rub it into his body.

Zhuo felt a little embarrassed and patted Kazeri. She wanted to say something, but her red lips were blocked by Kazeri's kiss.

"Um"

Li Si was a little hesitant, and suddenly felt that he should avoid it.

The legendary crown was being affectionate with his long-lost lover, and he and Taiya were like a light bulb.

However, the legendary necromancer Ihalus in front of him was more emotional than the one in the Scarlet Tower.

In other words, more like a person with rich emotions rather than a cold machine.

".Okay!"

After a moment, Juou broke free from Kazeli's embrace, his cheeks flushed, he patted Kazeli's arm and said angrily:

"There are other people watching!"

"I know."

Kazeri looked at Juou with eyes full of love, as if he could never get enough of her.

"Kazeri, let me introduce you."

Zhuo remembered that Li Si and Taiya were still standing by, and his face turned slightly red. He quickly covered up and introduced Kazeri:
"This is Mr. Li Si, he takes good care of me."

"This is my good friend Taiya. We agreed to go to the Gol Festival together today."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li Si, Miss Taiya."

Kazeri extended his right hand towards Li Si with a faint smile on his face.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Your Majesty Ihalus."

Li Si shook Kazeri's hand and spoke in a respectful tone.

Zhuo looked at Li Si with some curiosity, wondering why he called Kazeri like that.

Kazeri was obviously the same as when he left, and she thought that Kazeri's trip was not going well, so she was careful not to mention it just now, because she didn't want Kazeri to think of the sad things.

Looking at Li Si's expression, could it be that these two people knew each other outside?

"No need to do that, just call me Kazeri."

Kazeri looked at Li Si with a complicated look in his eyes, then smiled and said, "You are Zhuo's friends, which means you are my friends."

"I heard that you are going to the Gul Festival. If possible, can I join you?"

"Of course no problem."

Li Si withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded.

Perhaps because of the influence of the illusion, Zhuo did not notice that Kazeri's body did not have the normal human temperature.

Sure enough, the one who appeared here was not his real body.

Should he still be staying in the Bloody Tower?
"Come on, Kazeri. Everyone will be happy to see you back."

Zhuo said happily, she was the happiest person here.

Noticing Juou's happy mood, Kazeri's eyes showed a hint of sadness and grief, followed by some regret.

Maybe I should have made a decision earlier.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Without saying anything more, one more person joined the group enjoying the festival, and the four of them headed towards the town square.

Under the warm and bright sunshine, the small town square turned into a sea of ​​joy, and every corner was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

The colorful ribbons and flags danced on the roofs and flagpoles around the square like cheerful elves. They swayed in the wind, interweaving gorgeous pictures of the sky, adding a touch of fantasy and vitality to the celebration.

The air in the square is filled with an irresistible and tempting aroma, a feast for the senses woven together by delicacies from all over. The smoky smell of barbecue, the sweet aroma of candies, the warm scent of freshly baked bread...all kinds of flavors are intertwined, teasing the taste buds of every passerby, making people involuntarily slow down their pace to explore the source of the aroma.

Looking around, the square is filled with all kinds of stalls, each of which is like a small world, showing its own flavor and characteristics. There are fruit stalls piled with bright fruits, colorful like a palette; there are steaming snack stalls that attract crowds of onlookers; there are also stalls selling handicrafts, exquisite accessories, hand-woven baskets, all revealing the ingenuity and hard work of the craftsmen.

Surrounded by delicious food and merchandise, there were also many stalls offering fun games, with laughter and cheers coming one after another. Children excitedly tried archery, hooping, and balloon-hitting games, and adults joined in from time to time, enjoying this pure joy with the children. The joy of victory and the fun of participation filled everyone's face with happy smiles.

The crowds of people were huge and shoulder to shoulder, but it did not dampen people's enthusiasm at all.

The elderly sat in the rest area specially prepared for them, looking at the lively scene kindly, occasionally chatting with old friends sitting next to them, enjoying the tranquility and warmth that belonged to them.

Young people gathered in groups of three or five, moving among the crowd, tasting delicious food or participating in games, experiencing this unforgettable moment in their own way.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, occasionally a few white petals of red spider lilies float gently down in the wind. They are leisurely and contented, adding a touch of freshness and elegance to the celebration, as if they have forgotten the troubles of the world and only wish that the beauty of this moment could be frozen forever.

Li Si and others did not miss this lively celebration. They enjoyed the food and participated in different fun games from time to time.

Among them, Taiya and Zhuo were the happiest.

Taiya's hands were filled with all kinds of delicious food, and her rosy little mouth couldn't stop eating.

As for Zhuo, he really likes the lively scene of the celebration, especially the small games.

I don’t know why, but no matter what game she plays, fishing, archery, rock-paper-scissors, etc., she has great luck.

Soon, she was winning a lot of prizes, and Kazeri helped her carry a lot of things.

Li Si was not much better, holding a bunch of delicious food bought by Taiya.

The entire celebration market was extremely lively, and the crowds of people gradually dispersed as it got darker.

More and more people gathered in the center of the square, surrounding the tall bonfire pile and the ceremony platform.

Li Si and others also followed the crowd here. Taiya and Zhuo's faces were full of joy. They were in high spirits after strolling around the celebration for a whole day.

"The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Will the city lord show up later?"

Li Si glanced at the high platform not far away, where there were a few people busy with something, probably doing some preparatory work.

Kazeri turned his head and glanced at Li Si, then said with a smile:

"Indeed. It should come out."

He subconsciously hugged Zhuo tightly beside him, as if if he relaxed a little, the girl would leave him forever.

As if sensing some of Kazeri's emotions, the girl looked up at Kazeri's eyes, quietly held Kazeri's hand with her small hand, and said softly:
"It's okay Kazeri, I won't leave."

"Ok, I know."

Kazeri's vision was limited to Juou, who nodded slightly and said:

"I know."

"I won't leave this time when I come back. Let's stay together forever, okay?"

".Um."

Faced with Kazeri's straightforward expression of his feelings, Juou's face turned slightly red, but he still responded softly.

She had been waiting for Kazeri to come back for a long time.

Kazeri gently kissed the girl's rosy cheeks, and all his love burst out at this moment. After a moment of lingering, they separated.

Looking at the girl in his arms, his eyes were full of reluctance, but he still spoke softly.

"Ah."

Zhuo was feeling a little dizzy at the moment, and felt light-headed, so he responded subconsciously.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

The Gul Festival celebrations in the square are in full swing, with laughter, cheers and the rhythm of music interweaving into a joyful ode. The colorful lights dance in the night sky, reflecting the smiles on people's faces, and every place is filled with endless joy and vitality.

However, at the moment when the noise reached its peak, everything seemed to be paused by an invisible hand.

Time froze at this moment, and the bustling crowd suddenly stood still, like a painting frozen in time by magic, with everyone's movements and expressions captured forever. Those who laughed heartily had not yet closed their mouths, and the light in their eyes was still shining with surprise and happiness, but they were all forced to stay at this moment.

The joyful atmosphere in the air seemed to be sealed by this mysterious force. All sounds, whether it was laughter or the roar of musical instruments, came to an abrupt end, leaving only a suffocating silence.

The whole world seemed to be quietly shrouded in a light, gray mist, which gently but irresistibly blurred the vision.

The lights in the distance became dim, and the faces of people nearby became unclear. All colors seemed to be taken away, leaving only gray and white outlines, telling the excitement and joy just now in silence. The gray mist not only blocked the vision, but also made a dividing line between illusion and reality, making people feel an inexplicable alienation and trance.

At this moment, there were only three people left on the square who were not affected by the gray mist.

Taiya held the delicious food in her arms and was about to share it with Li Si, but she didn't expect that something unexpected would happen so quickly.

She glanced at Li Si and Kazeli who were facing her, as well as Zhuo who was in Kazeli's arms, his body also covered in gray mist like the people around him. Her smile gradually faded, and sadness and regret welled up in her eyes.

But she didn't do anything. Instead, she put away the food in her hand, took a step back quietly, and stayed quietly aside.

"Thank you for taking care of Juou these days."

Kazeri looked at Li Si and Taiya, his words calmly and indifferently, but Li Si could feel the deep sadness and reluctance in them.

"I think it's time to end this."
